Economic Significance

AbstractInvasions of leaf beetles are of great ecological and economic significance, but poorly studied. The rate of these invasions in Europe is dramatically increasing. Some established species spread quickly occupying almost the whole continent within several decades. We present the first inventory of alien leaf beetles of European Russia. For each species the map of distribution is provided and the history of invasion in the world is discussed. Two species native to Mediterranean Region: Chrysolina americana (pest of Rosmarinus and Lavandula) and Leptomona erythrocephala feeding on Lotus corniculatus are recorded in European Russia for the first time. A polyphagous pest of floriculture Luperomorpha xanthodera native to China and Korea and pest of soybeans Medythia nigrobilineata native to East Asia were recorded in 2016. A pest of tobacco Epitrix hirtipennis native to North America was recorded in 2013. A pest of corn Diabrotica virgifera was intercepted at the border of Russia in 2011, but is not established. Three alien species were recorded in the 20th century: Zygogramma suturalis introduced from North America for control of Ambrosia, Phyllotreta reitteri native to Afghanistan and Tajikistan and feeding on Lepidium latifolium, and the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata. The Black Sea region is more prone to leaf beetle invasions than other regions of European Russia. Leaf beetles usually occur only on alien or cultivated plants. Some species feed on native plants in native communities. So it is difficult to distinguish species established before the 20th century from native ones.

First Time

Ophraella communa LeSage, 1986, a leaf beetle native to North America, is recorded for the first time from Hungary. Several specimens were found on a degraded meadow in the outskirts of Budapest. Its importance in suppressing its main host plant, common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), is shortly discussed, as well as the potential problems it can cause in plant protection.

Species Identity

Nephila clavata L. Koch, known as the Joro spider and native to East Asia (Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan), is newly reported from North America. Specimens from several locations in northeast Georgia were collected from around residential properties in Barrow, Jackson, and Madison counties in late October and early November 2014. These are the first confirmed records of the species in the New World. Our collections, along with confirmed images provided by private citizens, suggest the Joro spider is established in northeast Georgia. Genomic sequence data for the COI gene obtained from two specimens conforms to published sequences for N. clavata, providing additional confirmation of species identity. Known collection records are listed and mapped using geocoding. Our observations are summarized along with published background information on biology in Asia and we hypothesize on the invasion history and mode of introduction into North America. Recognition features are given and photographic images of the male and female are provided to aid in their differentiation from the one native species of the genus (Nephila clavipes) in North America.

The Impact

<p>An estimated 50 Mt yr<sup>-1</sup> of dust is emitted from North American landscapes, with profound regional impacts (Shao et al., 2011). Dust emission flux in North America is controlled by wind speed and land surface (aerodynamic) roughness that are variable in both space and time. Vegetation growth, form and spatial distribution characterise different ecosystem regimes and protect the soil surface from the shearing stress of the wind. In the dry western US, diverse land use and management drivers create disturbance regimes that produce diverse ecosystem responses that could be drastically impacting rates of wind erosion and dust emission (Ravi et al., 2010). Resolving the impacts of ecosystem change on aeolian processes is needed to quantify anthropogenic-induced dust loads and identify management options as environmental solutions (Webb and Pierre, 2018).</p><p>Currently, erosion surfaces in North America are derived from satellite imagery, either by spatial analysis of mean aerosol optical depth concentrations (e.g. Ginoux et al., 2012) or point source identification through subjective analysis of individual daily multispectral images (e.g. Lee et al., 2012; Kandakji et al., 2020). In either approach, the results are subjected to spatial and temporal bias caused by a lag in emission-to-observation period and loss of data during cloudy (dust and meteorological) periods. To complement these approaches we produced the first moderate (500 m) resolution daily maps of dust emission across the dry western United States. These maps were based on estimates of soil surface wind friction velocity (u<sub>s*</sub>) derived from MODIS albedo data (Chappell and Webb 2016) using a commonly applied model (Marticorena and Bergammetti, 1995).</p><p>The North American dust emission climatology from 2001-2018 was compared with the u<sub>s*</sub> data volume to identify the spatio-temporal occurrence of three key disturbance regimes: i) land clearing for energy infrastructure, ii) invasion of shrublands by exotic annual grasses that alter fire regimes, and iii) replacement of grasslands by invasive shrub species. Against this background we examine the state and transition of ecosystem change across these landscapes to understand the impact on current dust emission. We use these findings to comment on the implications for future dust emission and to encourage the development of this modelling approach in Earth System Models.    </p>
